"You’ll have to plan a little for your phở date with Mắm, but it will be worth it. This tiny Chinatown restaurant—one of our top-rated—rotates through different Vietnamese specialties with the seasons, so keep an eye out for phở among their brothy options during the colder months. We’ve spent many a rainy Monday dipping pieces of skin-on poached chicken into their lemongrass chili sauce, then spooning it into our mouths with noodles and a light but flavorful broth. Keep an eye out for their extra herbaceous, meaty phở bo too. Both have wide noodles with a bit of a bite." - will hartman, bryan kim, willa moore, carlo mantuano, molly fitzpatrick
